Virginia Griem

Picture
I am a painter, potter and poet, live in South Devon and came to the poetry scene in 2014.
I have been published in various anthologies, and won the Ilkley Literature Festival  Walter Swan Poetry Competition in 2018.  I have been longlisted in the National Poetry Competition and have been placed and shortlisted in several other national competitions.  As part of the Teignmouth Poetry Festival organisation team, I run the annual poetry competition.

To date I haven’t had a poetry collection published, but was delighted to illustrate Ian Royce Chamberlain’s book ‘Not Forgotten-Nicht Vergessen’.  I have my own little box of books to sell, so if you would like to buy one please contact me on [email protected].  The price is £7.50 inc.UK postage.
 
You can see a video with some of my illustrations, and hear how they came about, on Youtube, where you can also hear me reading some of my poems:

As an artist I love to illustrate my poems, and have a small selection of poetry-zines which can be purchased at £3 each inc. postage.  These are pocket sized  folded illustrated poems.  Again contact me on [email protected]
